Video Game Review: Gory, Gruesome ‘Dead Island’ is Nearly Great
Submitted by BrianTT on September 12, 2011 - 9:26pmCHICAGO – Video games have an amazing way of suppressing critical thought. Like a great action sequence can allow the movie goer to ignore stupid dialogue and cliched characters, if a game can provide adrenalin-pumping, visceral thrills then complaints become easier to forget. Such is the case with “Dead Island,” a clever zombie game with some serious flaws that really don’t matter in light of how damn enjoyable the game can be.
